North Texas To Honor "Mean" Joe Greene By Putting No. 75 Back On The Field

After 50 years, the No. 75 will be worn by a North Texas football player in the team's match-up against Lousiana Tech. 75 was "Mean" Joe Greene's number and was retired by the school after he was named All-American for the 1968 season.

North Texas plans to honor Greene this weekend by unveiling a statue of him outside Apogee Stadium. Along with the statue the team will "unretire" Greene's number for one game.

He’s the -- and the only Mean Green Football player to wear the No. 75 in the last 50 years. Until this week. For one day only, the iconic Joe Greene jersey is coming out of retirement. #GMG#UniSwagpic.twitter.com/jeaqesZ5n2
